Calculation of thermal expansion and contraction

icona del tool di calcolo della dilatazione termica Aliaxis Italia

Due to temperature changes in a system, pipes can expand and contract. To prevent breakage of the fasteners, compensators are usually used or expansion rings or direction changes are made. This tool allows us to calculate the correct parameters to prevent the potential expansion or contraction of our systems.

Pipe length (m)

Pipe material

Minimum temperature (°C)

Maximum temperature (°C)

External diamater of the pipe (mm)

Change in length expansion/contraction (m)

Minimum length of segment B in expansion loop (m)

Minimum length of segment B in direction change (m)
